To all of you out there who think Barack Obama is really a nice guy and believe that Obamacare really, really won’t adversely affect you, think again. Send this to all the seniors you know – and their families, too – so they will understand who is throwing them under the bus.

The per person Medicare Part B insurance premium will increase from the present monthly fee of $96.40, rising to: $104.20 in 2012; $120.20 in 2013; and $247.00 in 2014. These are provisions incorporated in the Obamacare legislation, purposely delayed so as not to ‘confuse’ the 2012 re-election campaigns.

Don’t forget, under Obama and the Democrats we went through three years with NO COLA.

Here is a short history lesson for you:

The day the Democrats took over was not January 22nd 2009, it was actually January 3, 2007 the day the Democrats took over the House of Representatives and the Senate, at the very start of the 110th Congress. The Democratic Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995.

For those who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that everything is “Bush’s Fault”, think about this:

On January 3, 2007, the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress: The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.7. The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%. The Unemployment rate was 4.6%. George Bush’s Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB CREATION!

January 3, 2007 was the day Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee. The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy?

BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES!
Thank you Democrats (especially Barney) for taking us from 13,000 DOW, 3.5 GDP and 4.6% Unemployment…to this crisis by (among many other things) dumping 5-6 trillion dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac fiascoes.

George Bush asked Congress 17 times to stop Fannie and Freddie – starting in 2001 because it was financially risky for theU.S.economy. Barney Frank blocked all of the Republicans efforts calling it a “Chicken Little philosophy.” Did the media ever report it, before or after the fall?

Who took the third highest payoff from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? Obama.

Who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie? Obama and the Democrats in Congress.

Is it any wonder that Chris Dodd decided not to run for reelection in 2010 and that Barney Frank retires in 2012? Obama should follow suit.
